Phoenix Soccer Portraits | Shadow Mountain High School Class of 2024 by Anjeanette Photography

Forget for a moment the roar of the crowd, the sting of defeat, the adrenaline rush of victory. Imagine, instead, a sun-drenched field, laughter echoing against the bleachers, and a group of teenagers, faces aglow with the camaraderie of the team, the passion for the game. Parents and coaches, this is the essence of high school soccer, and its a feeling I remember from both the players and parents and as your Phoenix Team Photographer!

Recently, I had the privilege of chronicling the Shadow Mountain High School Class of 2024 soccer teams - boys and girls - in a fast-paced and fun photo session. It wasn't just about taking portraits, though certainly that is why I was there. This was about telling the story of a season, of sweat and grit, of triumph and tears, of brotherhood and sisterhood forged in the heat of competition.

I worked to capture individual portraits that showcased each player's unique flair on the ball, to group shots that froze moments of team camaraderie. Photos should resonate on multiple levels, offering players a tangible reminder of their journey, coaches a powerful tool for team building and motivation, and parents a treasure trove of memories to cherish long after the last game is played.

And here's the thing, Paradise Valley School district parents and coaches: your teams deserve this same chance to shine. Every athlete who pours their heart onto the field, for every team that bleeds spirit and teamwork, deserves a banner and the tangible memories of photos to share.

Don't let these precious moments fade into the memory bank, relegated to blurry phone pictures and fleeting social media posts. Invest in your team's legacy. Because these players, these athletes, these children of the playing field deserve to be seen, to be celebrated, to be remembered, not just for their goals and wins, but for them, what they bring to the field: their spirit, their teamwork, their passion.

Caden and Liesa Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE.PHOTOGRAPHY

As a photographer specializing in capturing the essence of the Class of 2024 through senior pictures and graduation portraits, I've had the privilege of witnessing incredible stories unfold in front of my lens. Liesa and Caden's journey is one that tugs at the heartstrings and makes you say “awwwww”. On the last day of 2023, Liesa and Caden celebrated their Class of 2024 journey with a portrait session from Anthem to the vista of Sunset Point. Even though it was a little overcast these two radiated energy and optimism. Their portraits capture not just a moment in time, but the perseverance and spirit that will see them conquer whatever comes their way. ✨ 

COSPE “Teenage Emotions”

These two remarkable individuals first crossed paths as percussionists in the State Champion Mountain Ridge Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. From the cadence of their drumbeats to the harmonious notes they created together, it was evident that their connection extended beyond the musical realm. As their senior year approached, we decided to freeze these moments of camaraderie in time with a special BFF senior portrait session.

Anthem Park and Sunset Point provided the perfect canvas for our photographic adventure, where we went from a giant sky sized softbox of a soft cloudy day to being bathed in the Arizona sunset. The landscape served as a backdrop, mirroring the journey these two have shared throughout their high school years.

Navigating the waterfalls of Anthem, we captured nervous giggles to genuine laughter and shared memories that define Liesa and Caden's relationship. Later we drove up to the edge of the sky above the Phoenix Valley to Sunset Point surrounded by the Bradshaw Mountains.

To Liesa and Caden, as you stand on the brink of new adventures, may these graduation portraits be a cherished reminder of the incredible relationship and lifetime memories you've built together. To the parents reading this, I hope this post inspires you to celebrate the unique friendships and relationships that have enriched your child's high school experience.

Here's to Liesa and Caden, the Class of 2024, and the beautiful journey that lies ahead!

Matthew Liberty High Class of 2024 | Phoenix Graduation Pictures & High School Senior Photographer ANJEANETTE.PHOTOGRAPHY

Today's spotlight shines on Matthew, a dude with wanderlust in his soul and a future at NAU etched on his horizon. Forget about stuffy studios and forced smiles; Matthew craved a backdrop as wild and free as his spirit, and what better fit than the Sonoran Mountain Desert's rugged beauty?

Golden sunlight was bleeding over saguaro silhouettes, casting long shadows across the dusty trails. Add in a cool breeze whispering through prickly pear patches and the distant call of a coyote – nature's symphony in full swing. No really, we heard them that’s not just poetic bs! It was the perfect spot for Matthew to paint his senior portraits with the desert's vibrant brushstrokes.

Matthew soaked it all in. You could practically see the gears of his mind turning, maybe dreaming of future hikes, mountain expeditions, and maybe even a touch of stargazing under NAU's open skies. He spoke of his passion for environmental science, his plans to explore the world's hidden corners, and the excitement of leaving his mark on the planet. And in those moments, the desert wasn't just a backdrop; it became a symbol of the challenges and possibilities that awaited him.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the cacti in fiery hues, we captured the essence of Matthew's journey. These weren't just senior portraits; they were a visual narrative of his transformation from high schooler to adventurer, to a young man ready to embrace the wild unknown.

Ben Class of 2024 | Peoria & Phoenix Arizona Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography

Class of 2024, Meet Your New Senior Pic Muse: Ben's Classic Car Meets Streetwear Symphony

Forget awkward yearbook photos and cheesy backdrops. Phoenix seniors, it's time to level up your graduation portrait game. Enter Ben, Class of 2024, and a swaggering testament to the power of vision, personality, and a killer vintage Corvette Stingray. Let's be real, senior pics can sometimes feel like a forced march through tired tropes. A lot of guys just don’t get into them because they completely disinterested in stale and cheesy looks - but it doesn’t have to be that way! I was SO EXCITED for this session, Ben knew exactly what he wanted from a hip studio, to pose ideas, and urban backdrops. He took the reins and drove this session straight into a whole new lane. Think streetwear swagger meets classic car cool, with a dash of timeless style and a whole lot of personality.

This videos music: NBHD NICK Double Up

Ben's wardrobe was a carefully curated symphony of streetwear staples and authentic vintage sustainable thrifts. Think Iconic Detroit Carharrt Jacket, graphic tees, and kicks from boots to sneakers that would make any magazine. It def gave me Lewys feelings! (Ball is a Scottish fashion and lifestyle influencer)

And then there was the Corvette– a cherry & chrome masterpiece that ALMOST stole the show (don't worry, Ben, you held your own!).

This wasn't just a photo shoot; it was an experience to celebrate senior year before Ben conquers the world (one killer outfit at a time).

Class of 2024, what are you waiting for? Ditch the tired cliches and embrace your own senior pic symphony. Don't be afraid to break the mold, showcase your passions, and let your personality shine.

Ryan Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 | Peoria & Phoenix Arizona Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography

“Season Finale” Song by Beò https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/season-finale/72155

I am fresh off an epic senior portrait session that left me buzzing with inspiration! Today, I’m spotlighting Ryan, a dude who's as versatile as the Arizona landscape itself. Ryan isn't your average senior. This guy packs a double punch (pun intended!), excelling both in the serene world of karate and the high-energy realm of the Arizona State Champion Mountain Ridge marching band drumline. So, how do you capture that kind of dynamism in a single session? We headed straight for Lake Pleasant, where mountains meet water and senior photos take on a whole new vibe. The golden Arizona sun bathed the lake in a warm glow as Ryan posed against the backdrop of rugged cliffs. We found this epic rock overlooking the lake to create a portrait in his Italian jacket from a recent trip overseas!

Then, with a quick wardrobe change and a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Ryan transformed into James Bond in his suit! Love it when senior bring a formal outfit.

As the sun dipped towards the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues, we set off a few Enola Gaye colored smoke. With laser-sharp focus, his movements precise and graceful, Ryan unleashed his kata, detailed patterns of movements executed as a specified series of a variety of Karate moves. The sunset glow behind saguaro cacti set the perfect stage for silhouettes showing his talent and hard work.

But of course, senior portraits are more than just showcasing talents. They're about capturing the essence of who you are – the quiet moments, the genuine smiles, the hopes and dreams simmering beneath the surface.

By the end of the session, we had a collection of images that told Ryan's story – a story of strength, passion, and a spirit that's forever in tune with its own rhythm. These senior photos aren't just social media or yearbook filler; they're a reminder of who Ryan is and who he's becoming, a visual echo of the amazing journey that lies ahead.

So, are you ready to tell your own story through senior portraits? Let's chat and craft a session that captures your unique melody, whether it's a quiet ballad or a full-blown rock symphony! Llet's make your senior year unforgettable.

Lanae Phoenix Country Day Class of 2024 | Peoria & Phoenix Arizona Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography

If you haven't been to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Gold Canyon, Arizona, let me tell you, it's a photographer's paradise! Imagine towering cacti, vibrant desert flowers, and dramatic rock formations – the perfect backdrop for capturing Phoenix Country Day senior Lanae's unique personality and celebrating her upcoming graduation.

“Season Finale” Song by Beò https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/season-finale/72155

The day brought moody clouds and golden sunlight filtered through the branches of ancient cacti, and no matter the weather conditions Lanae's confidence and energy shone brighter. We explored the diverse landscape, from the cacti-studded trails to the lush green meadows, each location offering a new opportunity to create stunning senior photos.

But there was more to this session than picture-perfect poses – they're not just about capturing a moment in time, they're about capturing the essence of who you are and the journey you've taken. By the end of the session, we had a collection of photographs that truly reflected Lanae's spirit – vibrant, confident, and full of hope for the future. I know these senior pictures will be cherished for years to come, a reminder of this special time in her life.

Kenna Class of 2024 | Peoria & Phoenix Arizona Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography

Let me share a little about the fantastic senior portrait session I had with the lovely Kenna in the heart of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It was a sun-kissed day filled with laughter, vibrant colors, and the excitement of capturing Kenna's unique personality as she embarks on this exciting journey from high school to the next chapter of her life.

Our adventure began amidst the urban charm of downtown Phoenix. The city provided the perfect backdrop for Kenna's senior pictures – a fusion of modernity and tradition. We explored the colorful murals that adorned the walls as we strolled through the streets. The energy of the city blended seamlessly with the excitement of capturing these precious moments.

From the bustling streets, we transitioned to a more serene setting, capturing Kenna against the iconic golden Phoenix skyline. The graduation portraits radiated a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future. The city, with its towering buildings and endless possibilities, mirrored the wide-open path that lies ahead for Kenna. It was a beautiful juxtaposition – the urban landscape symbolizing the journey from adolescence to adulthood.

Kenna's senior photos weren't just about freezing a moment in time; they were about celebrating the unique individuality that makes her who she is. The transition from high school to the next adventure is a monumental one, and Kenna's senior portrait session perfectly encapsulated the excitement, beauty, and promise that this journey holds. Here's to Kenna and the exciting path that lies ahead – may it be as vibrant and full of life as the downtown streets of Phoenix! 🌆🎓

Jacob Sunnyslope Class of 2024 | Phoenix Graduation Pictures & High School Senior Portrait sessions

I've been capturing the senior portraits of athletes for many years, but Jacob, a football captain at Sunnyslope Viking High School, ranks among the best. Jacob is a force to be reckoned with on the field, but off the field, he's a down-to-earth guy with a fantastic smile. We adventured into the picturesque landscapes of the Paradise Valley palm lined lanes, to the Vikings stadium, then we kicked it up a notch by venturing out to the stunning Lake Pleasant. The change of scenery added a whole new dimension to Jacob's senior portraits. Against the serene backdrop of the lake, we documented portraits of a young man transitioning to the wider world beyond high school. It was an adventure that mirrored the exciting journey Jacob is about to embark on.

By the end of those intense Friday Night Lights, he was understandably worn out, but when it came time for his senior pictures the next day, he powered through like a true champion. The football stadium provided a backdrop that resonated with Jacob's passion for the game. We captured those fantastic smiles and cool, tough vibes that make Jacob the charismatic captain guy is.

Jacob's senior pictures aren't just about documenting his time in school; they're about showcasing the resilience, determination, and vibrant spirit that define his high school experience. It's a story told through images – a visual journey of a Viking warrior, ready to take on the world with his strength, his determination, and unwavering spirit. Cheers to an amazing senior year Jacob! 🎓🏈

DON’T I HAVE TO USE THE SCHOOL YEARBOOK COMPANY? | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Phoenix Az→

No, you do not have to go to *JUST* the school yearbook photographer.

But I think you’ll want to do BOTH!

The schools portrait company is hired to take your yearbook mug-shot, tux or drape, and cap and gown. Unless otherwise stated that is the image they will use in the yearbook regardless. You are so much more than one shot!

Honestly, I love and have taken the traditional tux and drape shot. Its a classic! Secret Confession: I WAS a school yearbook photographer for 8 years- its a great business. One of the school the company I worked with service a high school that had large composites sheets from every year the school had been open- back to the 1920’s! It was amazing- and being a small town there were kiddos going to school with their great grandmothers, grandpa’s, and parents watching over them! Its timeless and sentimental and I loved it!

So get that yearbook pic and enjoy it. I suggest getting the school-approved print portrait package for a formal yearbook shot too. I bought my kid’s yearbook photos and senior photos from the school-approved studio too. I mean let’s face it I am the ideal client…I want all the images of my baby ha! But I also wanted something that REALLY showed off who they are and their personalities too.

..... what about YOU? Your hobbies and passions? Some schools allow independent photographers’ images- like mine- to also appear in your book. Regardless an individualized senior session is an important milestone. All other photographs beyond one formal headshot from the school’s photographer will be fast, cookie-cutter images, and they are completely optional to purchase!

Over and over I’ve been encountering seniors who believe that they must use the school photographer for all of their senior portraits. The school’s yearbook photography companies will attempt to lead you to believe that they are the ONLY photographers and you must go to them since they purchased a contract with your school for your photos, that is not true and you are not obligated to buy anything from them-

I encourage a classic formal portrait in cap & Gown or Tux or Drape- its a milestone shared by your parents and grandparents, an iconic part of the senior experience. But wait- there can be so much MORE!

Felt cute..

Might post my 1991 school yearbook pic later!

AFTER THE YEARBOOK FORMAL ADD THE REAL YOU PERSONALITY AND ARTISTIC MODERN PORTRAIT FROM ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY!

You are free to make your choice about your senior photographer!

I encourage you to look around at several talented, small, independent photographers such as myself in your area. Make a decision based on the quality of their work. You will get better quality images, more time spent with you and more poses to choose from if you use an independent photographer with years of training and artistic experience.

The yearbook photography companies are usually high-volume studios that profit from getting students in and out quickly with just a few backgrounds- the same ones all of your class will have.  And that’s their business model because it works- AND its inportant to get a photo of every kid. Not everyone will want a special session just for them and sad as that maes me personally hahah I want every kid in the yearbook. Sometimes when they are actually there in the yearbook folks studio they realize its a pretty cool experience and want more poses…You’ll still pay big bucks for your senior pictures at a bigger studio, but what you won’t realize is that you are paying for the business name.  Consider your options. In the world of digital imagery, why would a studio only let you pick a few poses?  Independent photographers will provide you with lots of options and will take the time to individually edit your images.  They will take pride in their work because the images they produce will be a direct reflection of their abilities.

Do you charge more than the school photographer?

It really depends, however, most high-volume yearbook photographers charge more than I do for their sessions and products. Please compare our prices. ;)

The best times to take senior pictures in Arizona | Phoenix Az Graduation Pictures High School Senior Portraits Anjeanette Photography

Senior year is a momentous time in every student's life, and one of the most cherished traditions is capturing this milestone through senior portraits. In Arizona, with our diverse landscapes and unique natural beauty, I make selecting the best time to take senior portraits easy as I have already considered weather, lighting, and different areas that express the character of our state - so that I get you the best results in stunning photographs that truly capture the essence of the senior and this desert wonderland.

Phoenix Az Graduation Pictures High School Senior Portraits Anjeanette Photography

Arizona is known for its arid climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters- and its a senior photographers paradise with all the variety and availability to have sessions year round. To avoid the scorching heat of the summer months, it is advisable to plan the session during the fall, winter, or spring seasons, or to have a summer session in studio or a unique indoor location. Autumn offers comfortable temperatures, golden foliage, and vibrant colors, providing a picturesque backdrop for portraits. Winter brings cooler temperatures, which can be a refreshing change, and the possibility of capturing unique shots against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains in northern Arizona. Spring brings the bloom of desert wildflowers, offering a vibrant and colorful setting for senior portraits.

Phoenix Az Graduation Pictures High School Senior Portraits Anjeanette Photography

A crucial element to consider is lighting and time of day. Arizona is known for its abundant sunshine, which can create harsh shadows and intense highlights during midday, which is why I avoid middle-of-the-day sessions unless they are indoors.

To achieve softer and more flattering lighting, I highly recommend scheduling the session during the "Golden Hour." The Golden Hour refers to the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the light is softer, warmer, and more diffused. During this time, the Phoenix desert landscape is bathed in a beautiful golden glow, creating a magical atmosphere for senior portraits. This enchanting light adds depth, warmth, and a touch of romance to the photographs, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Golden Hour

Warm golden light, high contrast, stunning glow….The best light of the day for outdoor shoots! I start golden hour senior sessions two hours before sunset to maximize the wow! Awesome for highlighting the best skin, colors, and dimension in photos.

 Sunset photos

Just as or after Golden Hour when the sun dips behind the mountains surrounding the Phoenix Valley is prime time for striking sunsets. Never can guarantee- but when there is on Arizona has the best!

View fullsize

View fullsize

Blue Hour after Sunset- NIGHT SHOTS

Dramatic, bold, colorful- lights! Night shots as unique as you are a great opportunity to shine. This is at the end & included in most action sessions- if we plan it right we can have Golden Hour, Sunset, and Blue Hour night photos in one session!

View fullsize

View fullsize

Sunrise/Morning Sessions

Beat the heat! Cooler temps and cooler colour tones- this is the best light in my opinion for Light & Airy style photos. Sunrise sessions start 15 minutes before sunrise so no sleeping in hahah

Studio or Indoor Sessions- Anytime!

A studio or interior space can capture YOU and your vision without distraction or crowds. From an epic shoot at a museum or theatre (click to check out unique spots)

to a classic fashion studio (studio portfolio here) we can get all the looks- while enjoying air conditioning!

View fullsize

View fullsize

It is important to consider the personal preferences and style of the senior being photographed so I like to collaborate with the senior and their family to understand their preferences, interests, and aspirations can help in choosing the best time and Phoenix or other location for their senior portraits.

Some individuals may have a preference for a specific season, while others may have a particular vision or theme in mind.  This collaboration ensures that the photographs reflect their unique personality and create a lasting memory of this significant milestone. I would love to bring your vision to life and be a part of your senior year with senior photos that express you!

LOVE IT when a senior chooses a unique place for photos!! This was a hoot, I had a ton of poses, plans, and ideas for this portion of the session ready...then the moment after we launched off the deck I started giggling realizing I didn't exactly factor in any piloting the boat aspects. It's been many years since I was any kind of sailor so thankfully it was a pretty manageable paddle boat hahaha.

What a stunner!! String lights are cool, and that pink-hued sunset sure is nice, but Caeli is what REALLY lit up the Tempe Town Bridge last week!!

Beautiful Caeli with her glow and easy happy smile IS such a swan!! The perfect pairing <3

Lina Class of 2023 | Phoenix Senior Graduation Pictures by Anjeanette Photography

Tonight...
Tonight...
Oh uh huh make it magnificent

Tonight
RIGHTTTT!

Oh your hair is beautiful

Oh tonight...

ATOMIC

- Blondie

Lina is ATOMIC! I love it when Glam Punk artist & style icon Debbie Harry growls that into the mic- Lina brought the same powerful energy and style to her senior session!! When your senior walks out dressed in platform shoes, blue hair, kohled eyes, a leather duster, and tie- yeah you know the session is going to ROCK!!

Oh hey, Nagel, we see you there defining the whole 80's aesthetic ;)

Thank you to Atomic Mesa for hosting us in your amazing store!

Audrey SDOHS Class of 2023 | Phoenix Senior Graduation pictures by Anjeanette Photography

Ansel Adams said, and I am a big believer, that "you don't take a photograph, you make it" ...but takes a great subject to make a great image. Beautiful & brilliant work Audrey!

Fun & peppy, silly & serious beauty Audrey! She was also voted best giggle & nose wrinkle (by me)
We had the best time snooping around people's front porches (not really) in Olde Town and along fine Art row <3 Love this family- I have photographed Aud's older brother Colin and her family in the past- happy kids make for great portraits!

Loooove this spunky hair flip!
I love Audrey's homecoming dress! Perfect fit and mood for her golden hour session in Olde Towne and secret surprise locations around town. Who knew AZ had such lush grassy areas? Thank you Aud for introducing me to a new location!!

I put Audrey's guy to work- props to Hans for being a super dude- from hair handler to carrying equipment to mad dashes around town for jeans!

Dakota Class of 2023 | Phoenix senior pictures by Anjeanette Photography

“I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.”

— Eden Ahbez

Dakota’s senior session started out with a bang- or more accurately a flash of lighting- but this volleyball pro and top student brought the boom! Dakota choose a travel session from Mesa’a Tonto Forest to Papago Park in Arizona for her Phoenix senior portrait session. Don’t worry we were 20 miles from the lightning but still rescheduled when we saw lightning!

The second day was absolutely SEARING hot (119!) so we took it slow with lots of water breaks...yet this kid glowed and pulled off effortless looks like a champ- and she is an Alaskan!! This weather is waaaay out of her normal comfort zone! Such an amazing job Dakota, you are a babe! Such a beauty with all the brains to match- she has multiple large scholarships setting her up for success in college! Her hard work is paying off <3
